Okay, so I lost on a bet with my moon sister and my consequence is I have to make a music video for someone - against my own wishes. haha! :P So to the one I dedicate this song to - whoever you are, wherever you are. I don't know when or where we'll meet - I'm not even sure if we'd ever meet (my moon sister is the hopeful one for me in this aspect of my life) but just in case you'd get the chance to see this, know that this one's for you. ;)
"I Swear This Time I Mean It" by Mayday Parade You could crush me, please don't crush me
'Cause baby I'm a dreamer
For sure, and I won't let you down
I swear this time I mean it...
So I'll sing a melody, and hope to god he's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I'll be your memories, your lullaby for all the time
Today is another special day! Because as we celebrate Valentine's Day, it just so happens that it's also a full moon day! Yey, right?! Don't you just love celebrating this day with all your loved ones and with the beautiful full moon as your witness? ;)
Anyways, since today is indeed a day worth celebrating, me and my moon sister came up with the idea of writing down our top favorite kilig moment/s from each category: books, movies, songs and that one, ultimate super kilig moment. And, here's mine...
My most favorite kilig scene from this book was when Macy run towards Wes and told him about the change in the rules of their game called 'Truth' so that they would know who will win..
I knew, in the silence that followed, that anything could happen here. It might be too
late: again, I might have missed my chance. But I would at least know I tried, that I took my heart and extended my hand, whatever the outcome.
"Okay," he said. He took a breath. "What would you do, if you could do anything?" I took a step toward him, closing the space between us. "This," I said. And then I kissed him.
I know, nothing much special about that scene, but if you read the book, you would know how Macy would somehow over-think things instead of actually doing it. It's good to think things through but sometimes, we do have to loosen up a little, right? Take that one leap of faith and finally do, what you've always wanted to.
Since this is a very special day to be oh-so cheesy plus really embarrassing to admit, I've been actually daydreaming of doing that same scene with my mon amour. Hahaha! So, to my dear mon amour, if you're reading this, prepare thyself! Hahaha! Kidding! :P The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
IThis book definitely made me cry and made me feel a lot of 'feelings'. Plus I have a lot of favorite kilig moments in here. It's just so hard to choose from, right? Hahaha! But, if you insist, I guess, this are my top kilig scenes: (1) When Gus and Hazel were having this conversation up in the clouds in the airplane about fourteen dead people, the Hazel told him a poetry she memorized and after which, Gus said this..
Ah! Aren't we all wanted to be just like that, sometimes? You know, finally be able to say things or tell things to our special someone because we simply wanted them to know what and how we feel for them.. and that they don't have to exactly do or say something. You really just want them to know. (2) Hazel sharing her love of reading Van Houten's "An Imperial Affliction" to Gus that brought them closer together (3) Gus sharing his 'wish' with Hazel to fly to Amsterdam and Van Houten and where they get to spend a lot of wonderful moments together It just made me want to say everything from this book to my mon amour. :P
I totally love that particular scene where Elizabeth Bennet walk the fields before sunrise after Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy's aunt shamed her and only to find that Mr. Darcy was also walking towards her. Conversation ensued between these classic timeless couple on making amends and with Mr. Darcy telling her that he did all of those things for her, asking her if her feelings changed and finally telling her..
I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
Then, Elizabeth took a step closer towards Mr. Darcy, kissed the back of his hand and leaned their foreheads with each other while the sun rises.
Don't you just love that scene? *sigh* A Walk to Remember
Again, I have so many favorite kilig scenes from this movie because it never fails to make me cry and kilig at the same time. Hahaha! And since I'm having another hard time picking my most favorite kilig scene, here are my top 3: (1) When Landon asked Jamie's father to be out on a date with him (2) All those things they did on their first date like dancing under the night sky and because Landon remembered Jamie's 'list' of the things she wants to do like being in two places at once, getting a tattoo even if it was a fake one (3) I'm torn between these three kilig and heartwarming scenes of: (a) Jamie and Landon stargazing at the cemetery and Landon telling Jamie that he named a star after her; (b) Landon staying with Jamie all day and night at the hospital; (c) Landon and Jamie getting married at the church where Jamie's parents had their wedding...
SONGS
Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift
Drop everything now Meet me in the pouring rain Kiss me on the sidewalk Take away the pain 'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around 'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile
I run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild. Just keep on keeping your eyes on me, it's just wrong enough to make it feel right. And lead me up the staircase Won't you whisper soft and slow? I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show Everything about this song is absolutely perfect and never ever fails me. Hahaha! Especially when I daydream and it suddenly pops... It just makes me want to run to wherever he is at the moment. Okay, I think, I should just stop daydreaming and do it, right? Hahaha! :P Beautiful in my Eyes by Jericho Rosales
You're my piece of mind, in this crazy world You're every thing I've tried to find Your love is a pearl You're my Mona Lisa You're my rainbow skies And my only prayer is that you realize You'll always be beautiful in my eyes...
The world will turn And the seasons will change And all the lessons we will learn Will be beautiful and strange We'll have our fell of tears Our share of sight My only prayer is that you realize You'll always be beautiful in my eyes... You will always be beautiful in my eyes And the passing is the show That you will always grow Ever more beautiful in my eyes
And there are lines upon my face From a life time of smiles When the time comes to embrace For one long last wine We can laugh about how time really flies We won't say goodbye 'Cause true love never dies You'll always be beautiful in my eyes...
This song plus Echo's voice is just so perfect. Hahaha! First heard this song from my brother and I totally got hooked. The lyrics of this song definitely says everything about the beauty of growing in love together. :) and that ultimate kilig moment...
...is in the everyday that you are in it, love. It's in the everyday little things that we share It's in the special days when we could finally spend time with each other after our busy days It's in the way you make me feel... The never-fail butterflies in my tummy Effervescently hyper than usual Being simply incandescently happy with just being you and without you knowing it sometimes It's in when our hands intertwined and I would feel the electricity run through my veins It's when I dream of you and us, literally and figuratively It's in the everyday you try and do to be your best in all aspects of your life because I know that it makes you happy It's in the handwritten message, note and those words of yours that would always paint a smile on my face every time I read them It's in the times you keep up with my eccentric weirdness It's in the moments that I see you laugh, blush or simply smile It's in getting through, together, those roller-coaster kind of days of feeling down from having a bad and stressful day It's when our cheeks touch together to say "Hello, love! It's good to finally see you again." and "I'm going to miss you again. I'll see you soon.." It's when I link my arms with yours It's when we hug and if only it could last a little longer It's in that epic fail moment of attempting to kiss your forehead (I still laugh at myself for that, rawr!) It's in the courage and braveness you've shown to meet my brother and cousin; and my mom via facebook It's in that important thursday night when I finally met the special women in your life It's in those simple "good morning!" and "good night!" It's in the everyday we get to know more of each other It's in the everyday of being together and the beautiful blessings of endless possibilities that awaits us.. And because I want you to know that.. It's in the everyday that you are my Valentine and get to say those three magic words and I do hope that you get to feel my love for you... Happy Heart's Day everyone! :) ☀ ♥ ***** Now it's my turn for posting my own top choices for those super "kilig" moments. *^o^* ~ jhun
BOOK
Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie
~ So this one is my "go-to-book" everytime I need a dose of cheesiness to perk up my mood. It never fails. I don't want to delve into the details, but I assure you, you'll be laughing out loud while falling in love with the story of Cal and Min when you read it. From the moment they first met, to the times they tried to avoid each other but somehow, fate and destiny had their own plans for the two them and they end up at the same place and time. Every time I hear of snow globes, Krispy Kremes, and Chicken Marsala, it always remind me of this book. *^o^*
“Nobody in my life has ever known me the way you do. Nobody in my life has ever made me feel as good as you do. You know me, you know everything about me, and when you leave me, you're going to be leaving the real me, the me nobody else has ever seen, that's who you're going to be rejecting.”
*****
“Look, I'm not ready for you," Min said. "I'm not prepared. I don't have any defenses when you're around. I make these plans and I mean it, I really do, and then I kiss you because I'm crazy about you which would be fine if I didn't fall in love with you but there that is, just standing there, and you know it, you know you've got me.”
*****
“Bet you ten bucks we make it."
What are the odds? she thought, and realized with sudden, blinding clarity that she wouldn't take the other side of that bet, that only a loser would bet against them. This is really it, she thought, amazed. This is really forever. I believe in this.
"Min?" he said, and she kissed him, putting all her heart into it.
"No bet," she said against his mouth. "Your odds are too good."
"Our odds are too good”
*****
“It doesn't matter," Min said. "That's what I'm trying to tell you, it doesn't matter what you do or say. I'm going to love you till the end of time."
Cal looked at her, stunned.
"I know," Min said. "It's really un-PC. I just thought you should know that you can't screw this up."
"I can't?" Cal said, wanting to believe her.
"No," Min said. "Which doesn't mean I'm not going to tell if you make me mad again. I will shout and slam doors. I just won't be on the other side of the door when I slam it. You've got me for life."
He lost his breath and put his forehead against her shoulder. "God, I love you.”
MOVIE Before Sunrise
Hands down. This is my most favorite romantic movie of all time. Trains, ferris wheel, poetry, moon watching, slow dancing...If you wanna know more about why I love this movie so much, read my previous blogpost about it here.
Jesse: Alright, I have an admittedly insane idea, but if I don't ask you this it's just, uh, you know, it's gonna haunt me the rest of my life Celine: What? Jesse: Um... I want to keep talking to you, y'know. I have no idea what your situation is, but, uh, but I feel like we have some kind of, uh, connection. Right? Celine: Yeah, me too. Jesse: Yeah, right, well, great. So listen, so here's the deal. This is what we should do. You should get off the train with me here in Vienna, and come check out the capital. Celine: What? Jesse: Come on. It'll be fun. Come on. Celine: What would we do? Jesse: Umm, I don't know. All I know is I have to catch an Austrian Airlines flight tomorrow morning at 9:30 and I don't really have enough money for a hotel, so I was just going to walk around, and it would be a lot more fun if you came with me. And if I turn out to be some kind of psycho, you know, you just get on the next train. Jesse: Alright, alright. Think of it like this: jump ahead, ten, twenty years, okay, and you're married. Only your marriage doesn't have that same energy that it used to have, y'know. You start to blame your husband. You start to think about all those guys you've met in your life and what might have happened if you'd picked up with one of them, right? Well, I'm one of those guys. That's me y'know, so think of this as time travel, from then, to now, to find out what you're missing out on. See, what this really could be is a gigantic favor to both you and your future husband to find out that you're not missing out on anything. I'm just as big a loser as he is, totally unmotivated, totally boring, and, uh, you made the right choice, and you're really happy. Celine: Let me get my bag.
*****
Jesse: I feel like this is, uh, some dream world we're in, y'know. Celine: Yeah, it's so weird. It's like our time together is just ours. It's our own creation. It must be like I'm in your dream, and you in mine, or something. Jesse: And what's so cool is that this whole evening, all our time together, shouldn't officially be happening. Celine: Yeah, I know. Maybe that's why this feels so otherworldly.
*****
Celine: You know what I want? Jesse: What? Celine: To be kissed. Jesse: Well I can do that.
***P.S. also maybe one of the reasons why I'm a bit biased about this movie was because it just so happened that the day they met was also my own special day. Yeah! it's Bloomsday in Ireland and Jhun's day in mine. haha! ;)
SONGS
We Could Be Amazing by Andy Grammer
Always lightens up my mood. Sometimes I find myself grinning like a crazy fool just because this song is playing.
Cause the love that I'm holdin'
Will still be here in the morning
I'm just sittin' here hoping
You'll come down to me
We could be amazing
Make It With You by Bread
No matter what my mood is for the day, this song always makes me want to drop whatever it is that I was doing and just grab someone to slow dance while this tune is playing.
Baby you know that
Dreams they're for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through,
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.
No Matter What by Papa Roach
I'm out of words. Just listen to the song and I guess, if you're a hopeless romantic like me, you'll understand why this one's on my list.
I need you right here by my side
Cause you're everything I'm not in my life
We're indestructible, we are untouchable
Nothing can take us down tonight
You are so beautiful, it should be criminal
You should be mine
Last Time by Eric Benet
Somebody dance with me now! >o<
Now don't hold back, just let me know
Could I be moving much too fast or way too slow
'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day
To find that once in a lifetime, this is it, I'll never be the same
You'll never know what it's taken me to say these words
And now that I've said them, they could never be enough
I'm pretty sure mine pales in comparison as to what my moon sister posted on hers. What can I say, sometimes reality is better than imagination. Yeah, you got it. If hers is "biographical", mine is a work of "fiction". More specifically, it's a work of fiction by my brain. Can't divulge everything here but these are the basics: it's a dream with two people on it, a park bench, a wonderful sunset and a quite interesting and lengthy conversation. ;)

Hope you had fun reading our mindless chatters. Happy Hearts' Day everyone ;)
We, the moon sisters, just had a wonderful First Luna Adventure for 2014 on the First Day of February! And what made it more wonderful was because we've got to share it with Karenade and my mon amour! Yes, everyone, I'd like you to meet...
Karen, whom I love to call Karenade! - Rhio (The girl in a purple shirt with a lacy black design)
and Elmer, my mon amour <3 - Rhio
As what Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother said,
"Whatever you do in this life, it's not legendary unless your friends are there to see it."
So, for this very special day, we went to Bellini's at Cubao Expo. You might be wondering what is so special in this place. Well, if you were able to watch One More Chance with the famous Popoy-Basha tandem, then you'll definitely recognize this Italian restaurant.
A perfect place for that romantic dinner for two.. That cozy ambiance, with acoustic music softly playing in the background.. If only we stayed a little bit more longer.. Ahh! We're definitely going back to this place!
Doesn't this pretty art on the wall remind you of Romeo and Juliet? ;)
Life is Sweet! Don't you just agree, too? ;)
And here's what we ate since we were ll pretty hungry by the time we get there..
Freshly Baked Focaccia Bread with Olive Oil
Yummy Mozzarella Pizza
Jhun's Fettuccine Scoccio
Rhio's Penne Salsiccia
Of course, since we are a bunch of kids at heart, trying to be wannabe grown-ups, we had sweet wine to complement our dishes! Hahaha!
A toast for all the bright, beautiful and better things this 2014!
Of course, we didn't just went to Cubao Expo for the food but also for its quirky little shops.
Too bad they were close that day. :( I was planning to buy myself something really special and magical ;) - Rhio
This Luna Adventure won't be complete without a visit to a bookshop - our little heaven here on earth :)
Pretty little things! I can't stop myself from saying 'OMG' that Karen and Jhun would tally the number of times I said it! Hahaha!
